Fun space infographics - Non-planets and Spacecraft

Every now and then I come across some nice infographics. Here is a nice one showing the moon and other "non-planets" of the solar system. Even though a few of them do seem to be planet sized (Pluto's downfall to "dwarf planet" as we are familiar with!). All these images are actual photos of these objects. Click to see full size, this would print into a nice poster!

Below that is another one, this one showing all the spacecraft from Earth and where they travelled in the solar system - past and current.

This 3D Astronomer software has many features that can complement your stargazing. I was excited about the perspective feature. Check this link to see what's in this app. http://c0bcel22el1z4p4c-1p4y9wlew.hop.clickbank.net/
